A year after Anthony was diagnosed

So sorry about about your Mother. Just make sure to try and enjoy the time you have left with her. Plenty of good and bad reasons to get teary eyed in this post. Great to see your boy smiling like that again. Make sure he spends alot of time with his grandma, that helps. Helped mine live a lot longer, she said it was because my boys made her so happy. Hows your boy doing with the doggie? That dog has got to be a mountain now!?

Terminal is not terminal till it happens. DIL was told she had stage 4 terminal lung cancer and had 6 months to a year. It is way over a year and while not cured is mainly in remission. Been ups and down but still looking ahead. Thing is never give up.

Great news on your son!
I admit I had to stop following that thread cause it made me super paranoid with my son.

Sorry to hear about your mom. Stay strong.

My mom seems to be in good spirits about everything going on. She has gained some of her apatite back in the last week, I want to say she has dropped 40lb's in about a 2 month period. I got a nice dinner planned for my mom Thursday, my sister is flying into town tomorrow afternoon. I think it has been 8 years since my mom has seen her.

Anthony should also be flying home tomorrow night, He flew out this morning for his monthly scan at St. Jude. I am praying that it comes back clear and he stays in remission.

Riley is huge, it has been really cool watching Anthony and Riley grow together over the last year together. She puts up with him rolling all over her, diving on her and laying on her all the time. She also follows him when he has snacks and has realized he tends to drop food on the floor.
